This was a busy day. It started at a silk factory. We saw silk worms in all stages, a loom set up to weave silk fabric, a custom tailor clothing shop, other ready to wear goods and beautiful hand done embroidery.
After walking through the Hoi An Market we ended up in a restaurant for a cooking class featuring Vietnamese flavors. I'm leaving you a link > Ms Vy: Hoi An Restaurant Pioneer - Hidden Hoian to learn more about the woman behind a restaurant chain and our cooking class. She didn't teach us but one of her earliest and most enthusiastic employees did.
In our class we learned how to make a spring roll with rice paper, which can be temperamental when rolling. By following great directions, I got mine rolled up without any cracks. We also marinated some chicken that was grilled in the restaurant and served with a very delicious mango salad. One last thing we did was a fried pancake that was so good! In Vietnam these are used kind of like a tortilla to hold more foods inside. We had some pork, shrimp and fresh greens in ours. We brought home recipes for all of this but haven't tried any in my own kitchen yet.
I would love to get back to Hoi An someday and spend more time wandering the market and of course enjoying more food!
Back with more again soon.
Take care and stay cozy!
